Trump has finally lost it.....

Facebook post from a relative in Missouri (Trump supporter) says no Joe Biden’s posters in those two states but plenty of Trump’s. I hope that is not the general feeling of the country.

I was watching the Jeremy Vine show and both panellists believed that Trump would win. Which surprised me somewhat. I thought he would be toast

Do you ever ask your relative why she continues to support Trump?

I try not to comment on his political posts. We were quite close many years ago and have only recently found each other on Facebook.
He has put up several posts supporting the police. Also one which was a page long list of all the wonderful things Trump has done in his administration so far!

It must be difficult to balance a family relationship with differing political views, but it always seems to me that in these situations the reasonable considerate person has to stand back and defer to the irrational or fanatical for fear of upsetting them. Is there a way you can challenge him about Trump's lies or his many failings without cutting off contact?

Three of our family have commented on one of his posts but I shall think carefully about what I comment on in order to maintain the contact. I think it will be easier that way. I am never going to change his mind! It is beyond comprehension how Trump has any support at all!

It sounds like he is part of Trump's "core vote", who are immune to any logical debate as they have a quasi-religious devotion to Trump.

Truly incomprehensible to most of us.

As many have said the only thing we have in common is that we speak the same language.
Their history is so different from ours.
I heard someone on the radio talking about our 'special relatinship' . Rubbish - only when it suits both sides.

Can we be surprised at the violent reaction, when we see the violence by the Wisconsin police.

I understand that the latest shooting of a black unarmed man by the USA police has resulted in him being paralysed from the waist down.

Shot 7 times in the back at point-blank range, in front of his children-

The story is still unfolding-

I've been watching the RNC- It's quite a production-
Very-patriotically-polished- Not a 1950's mind-numbing hair out of place- Apple-pie perfect-

She's right, like it or not- She's also equally wrong-

And never the twain shall meet ..

Perversely I can see this dreadful violence of division and hate caused in part by the populist politics a Trump espouses working to Trumps advantage.

I think you are right Whitewavemark2 I will be surprised if Joe Biden wins the Presidency, another four years of Donald Trump, who knows what that could bring?

Civil war wouldn’t surprise me.

You can’t keep killing one part of your population and not expect reaction.

He will win, just wait and see!
He's not as stupid as many people seem to imagine. There's lots going on in the background which you will not hear from the main stream media.
Are you looking forward to the new Quantum Financial System which has already been tested?
Do you know the USA voting system is changing to stop rigging and fraud?

What’s with Melania and her quasi military outfit ? Very dictators wife.

“ the new Quantum Financial System”. I read about this and understood not a word, so i don’t know if I’m looking forward to it or not !

Have the British public become too obsessed with America. Personally, I do not give a stuff who is President. The America people voted him in and may even do so again. Not my business and of not interest whatsoever.

As far as the shooting is concerned it’s the result of the American gun policy. Police in the USA shoot first in case a suspect is armed . In this case he was trying to get into his car and they probably thought he had a gun in the glove compartment. It wouldn’t happens in the UK as very few people are armed. I don’t know what the answer is. The gun lobby is very powerful. Obama tried to limit gun ownership but there was too much opposition.

Yes! That’s exactly what I thought

Hardly obsessed, but it is worrying that such a man is at the head of arguably the greatest power in the western world!

Lucca - the thing that worries me is that post Brexit the USA is going to be the main one of the few countries we can trade with.

But only on their terms

So much for "Take back control"!

Oh my G...d, only just found this thread. Another four years of DT on our screens, help! Incidentally I’m friends with my husband’s cousin on Facebook, she lives in America, and she absolutely loves him, thinks he’s America’s saviour. She posts a lot of stuff about him which I ignore as I don’t want cause any family friction.
